Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

Zhou Heng then asked, "Master, approximately how many seventh, eighth, and ninth-tier powerhouses are there in the Evil Race universe?"

Emperor Xuanchen said calmly, "Now it's probably less than a third of what ASEAN has."

Zhou Heng subconsciously asked, "So few? Didn't the history books say that the evil race once posed a great threat to humanity?"

Emperor Xuanchen explained, "Six thousand years ago, there were ten times more seventh, eighth, and ninth-tier powerhouses of the Evil Race than there are now in the East, but in these six thousand years, most of the Evil Race powerhouses were killed by human beast tamers."

Zhou Heng was puzzled again: "Why hasn't the number of powerful members of the evil race been replenished?"

Emperor Xuanchen's eyes held a complex expression: "The Evil Race is different from us humans. We humans have very short lifespans and grow very quickly. They have very long lifespans below the seventh rank, and can even live forever after entering the seventh rank, so they grow very slowly. In the past six thousand years, the Evil Race has consumed too many powerful individuals, and they cannot replenish them in a short time."

Zhou Heng then asked, "Six thousand years ago, the number of powerful members of the evil race was ten times that of the East Asia now. The East Asia's strength must have been weaker six thousand years ago. How did the East Asia manage to survive back then?"

Emperor Xuanchen succinctly outlined the historical context of the six-thousand-year struggle between humanity and the evil race for Zhou Heng: "After the Primordial Tree suppressed the starry sky, the spacetime rift between the two universes was initially quite small, preventing any evil race of the seventh rank or higher from crossing. Those who could descend into this universe were at most below the seventh rank. Then, as time passed, seventh, eighth, and ninth-rank evil races gradually arrived. By this time, humanity had also developed, led by the first Alliance Leader, Emperor Dawn, in a tenacious struggle against these high-ranking evil races. Until Supreme Worry-Free successfully advanced to the tenth-rank Supreme Beast Tamer, the evil race was utterly defeated, routed, and expelled from our human universe. From then on, there were no more large-scale evil invasions; only scattered evil powerhouses leading small armies descended to carry out targeted destruction of human cities. These evil powerhouses were basically killed as soon as they arrived; they couldn't escape."

One question after another popped into Zhou Heng's mind: "The Evil Race Supreme can resurrect infinitely, so it's understandable that he wants to invade our universe. But why do the remaining seventh, eighth, and ninth-tier Evil Race powerhouses insist on invading our universe? They don't have the ability to resurrect, and they know they are no match for us, yet they still dare to descend into our universe to cause us trouble. Aren't they afraid of death?"

Emperor Xuanchen has lived for nearly a thousand years and knows many secrets: "The Alliance's researchers learned by reading the memories of low-level evil races that the evil races are naturally afraid of death. However, whenever the number of seventh, eighth, and ninth-level evil race powerhouses reaches a certain level, the evil race supreme will select some evil race powerhouses every once in a while and force them to descend into our universe to attack human planets. They simply cannot disobey the orders of the evil race supreme."

Zhou Heng analyzed, "This kind of meaningless suicide seems foolish, but the Supreme Being of the Evil Clan is definitely not stupid. There must be a reason for it to do this, and it may be hiding some kind of conspiracy."

Emperor Xuanchen nodded: "Of course there is a reason, but we don't know what happened yet."

Zhou Heng's face showed genuine gratitude: "Thank you for telling me all this, Master."

Emperor Xuanchen said meaningfully, "These things are normally only known to sixth-tier Beast Tamers, but you are different. You are the junior alliance leader, so you can learn about the alliance's secrets in advance. However, don't take this too seriously. The Ten Great Evil Clans are now just a minor ailment, not a serious threat. The real enemy to be wary of comes from within humanity itself."

Zhou Heng's eyes darted around: "You mean the Great Emperor Miro of the Four Religions and Three Assemblies?"

Emperor Xuanchen bluntly warned, "It's not just Mi Luo, but also Lu Xie, Xue Po, Ming Hui, and Cang Wu. You need to be careful of these people. As for Lei Xiao, although he is only an eighth-tier Monarch Beast Tamer, he has the same SSS-level talent as you, so he might be the biggest threat to you."

Zhou Heng's mind raced, a thousand thoughts flashing by in an instant, and a bright, cheerful smile appeared on his face: "Master is about to advance to the tenth-level Supreme Beast Tamer. With Master protecting me from now on, I'm not afraid of anyone."

Emperor Xuanchen was very pleased with Zhou Heng's words: "You child, you are really a simple-minded one. Well, well, I will naturally protect you more in the future."

Zhou Heng feigned a simple and honest demeanor: "Thank you very much, Master. You are so kind to me."

Emperor Xuanchen said directly, "After you, I do not intend to take on any more disciples. In other words, you will be my last disciple, and I will naturally treat you well."

Zhou Heng quickly stated, "I will always remember Master's kindness to me, and I will definitely repay that kindness and be filial to Master in the future."

Emperor Xuanchen was very satisfied: "Your words are enough."

Then, Zhou Heng took out a blue diamond the size of an egg: "Master, I went to the ancestral star with my parents before, and I found this blue diamond by chance near the former residence of Wuyou Supreme."

Emperor Xuanchen's gaze fell on the diamond in Zhou Heng's hand, which was entirely azure blue and had an unremarkable appearance.

Zhou Heng continued, "At first I thought it was just an ordinary gem, but later I discovered that it was exceptionally sturdy. I tried to destroy it with a sixth-tier attack weapon, but I couldn't even leave a trace."

Emperor Xuanchen's eyes flickered, and the blue diamond flew directly from Zhou Heng's hand to his front.

Zhou Heng looked expectantly at Emperor Xuanchen: "None of the elders in my family recognize what this is. Only Ancestor Wanbao sensed the life force contained within it, but he couldn't explain why either. After much thought, I can only ask my master for help in identifying it."

Emperor Xuanchen placed the blue diamond in his palm, closed his eyes slightly, and an invisible force emanated from his body, enveloping the entire diamond.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

"This item may seem ordinary, but it actually contains a hidden secret."

Emperor Xuanchen's voice was calm and steady: "This should be a sealing substance of extremely high grade, and it contains a young beast taming creature."

Zhou Heng was stunned: "A beast-taming cub sealed inside? Such a small beast-taming cub?"

Don't be fooled by appearances.

Emperor Xuanchen traced the blue diamond with his fingertip, and ripples immediately spread across a small area around it: "This diamond contains spatial laws, forming its own world within. The exact size of the sealed beast cub cannot be determined by the naked eye."

Zhou Heng pondered, "This diamond was found near the former residence of the Supreme Being Wuyou. Could it be related to the Supreme Being Wuyou?"

Emperor Xuanchen smiled calmly: "It's hard to say, but even if it's related to Supreme Worry-Free, you don't need to worry."
